I am sure Mairead Lavigne did not realise that ‘NewsFour’ would be inundated with answers to her query about the location of Clyne’s shop. We have published some of them on our letters page (p.6) together with a map which Hugh Egan has drawn from memory. It’s great when ‘NewsFour’ becomes a melting pot of memories for our readers and we really appreciate your interest and enthusiasm.

Thanks to Brian Siggins I learned that we have yet another famous poet in our midst, Robert Greacen. I really enjoy his poetry and am now the proud owner of his latest work signed by the author.

Philip Murphy (stpatsrowing@gmail.com) would like you to contact him if you have any old photos or other memorabilia of the St Patrick’s Rowing Club. They want to use these in the new club room and on their website. St Patrick’s celebrate their 70th anniversary this year and we will be publishing an article about their history in the December edition.

I hate to mention it but it will be Christmas soon and we would be very happy to publish any good wishes for relatives and friends at home and abroad in the next edition. Please let us have these as soon as you can. We would also be happy to publicise any ideas you have for Christmas presents or new ways of managing our time and energy over the festive season– speaking of which I suppose I had better start making the cakes and puddings!
Take care of yourselves.
